BUT ATTENTION! I won't recommend anyone to use others but the standard character set for filenames. It can lead to problems if you're transfering files to a system which doesn't support special characters from the french language or is unable to remap them correctly. In my opinion, such characters should not be in a filename, as well as whitespaces, ampersands, apostrophes, doublequotes or similar things. I know it's possible, but it sometimes can make things _really_ difficult. I hope you won't run into such problems. Thanks a lot for your help ! I only want to allow French characters in filenames not all the environemment so I gonna check with the help you gave :-) thanks ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

And I forgot: Set your terminals to cons25l1 in /etc/ttys. You can do that via sysinstall or edit the file manually: ttyv0 "/usr/libexec/getty Pc" cons25l1on secure This, in combination with the LC_* settings, should enable the input and output of the special characters you want.
